We love Big Sur and the Big Sur Lodge. Our room was very nice, clean, and comfortable. HOWEVER, we ran out of toilet paper and had to use kleenix on our last morning there. We also had to ask for clean towels and more coffee bags earlier in the week.

Be prepared for no wifi and no tv's in lodges/rooms Pool could be a tad warmer considering it is not usually warm outside. Main lodge was useful for breakfast, lunch and dinner items. It is more expensive because of the cost to get food in there, which is understandable. Rooms are spacious and clean. Lots of great marked trails nearby for hiking.

The rooms at the Big Sur lodge are spacious and homey. They all have fire places which is a cozy addition. The surrounding area is beautiful and it is nice that there are several hikes directly from the property. The addition of the other parks passes makes it easy to explore the area.

The lodge is exactly what we wanted. Set back off the main road, in the middle of the redwoods, and that 80s style summer camp vibes. No tv’s or wifi but the fire place and coffee in room gave a feeling of having everything we need. The check in process seemed frustrating for other patrons but staff was pleasant and accommodating. We will go back.
